You know that scene in “The Hangover,” the recent Todd Phillips bromedy, where Stu Price (Ed Helms) is so wasted he yanks out his tooth and blood’s gushing everywhere? Yeah, I loved that.

I also thought it was hilarious when Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) pops out of a car’s trunk and kicks everyone’s rear ends before running off into the Nevada desert. Did I mention he was naked?

Maybe I’m not your typical female moviegoer. I like comedies that filmmakers intend for dudes. I’d pick “Old School” over “Baby Mama” any day. Perhaps that’s because there really aren’t intelligent comedies written with women in mind. Maybe Hollywood thinks we can’t take a joke? Or, maybe we’re supposed to get our giggles from Katherine Heigl’s “The Ugly Truth.” You know, the one where a drop-dead gorgeous android of a successful woman is single and lets down her wall just long enough for the pompous, emotionally unavailable hot guy at work to climb into her life.

But I’m not sure how many women share my sentiments. While I have yet to see “Bruno,” I recall the reactions of some women to “Borat,” Sacha Baron Cohen’s first feature-length comedy. “Extreme.” “Over the top.” “Funny for shock value.” Come on! What isn’t funny about two naked men wrestling? Or an Orthodox Jewish actor playing an anti-Semite? Or inbreeding?

My sense is that I’m supposed to be politically correct because I’m a lady, which supposedly makes me sweet, nice and another dozen adjectives that are really boring. I shouldn’t — or wouldn’t — laugh at ethnic stereotypes, physical violence or, heaven forbid, jokes that poke fun at any marginalized people or group.

But isn’t that what great comedy does? Illuminate the absurdity of our darkness? I know that’s why I like watching racy comedies. I like laughing at the bad stuff because that makes it easier to address. We have satire to thank for so much.

Consider the 1970s sitcom “All in the Family.” To me, it is the best television comedy of our time. The Emmy-winning series pulled no punches. Archie Bunker (Carroll O’Connor) represented a critical cultural turning point in the portrayal of the American white male. For nine seasons, he clashed with women, blacks and the younger generation (Rob Reiner’s “Meathead”). And we laughed. And laughed.

These days, I get my kicks watching “Family Guy” and “Two and a Half Men.” I literally laugh out loud when Brian the dog makes inappropriate passes at Lois.

I honestly can’t believe networks are still passing off shows about buffoons who marry out of their league as comedies.

I guess we funny girls aren’t totally alone. We have Sarah Silverman — even I have called her crass.

But if I really need to laugh and there aren’t any new “male comedies” out, I have a few girlfriends I can call who are blessed with great senses of humor. They are witty, silly and smart. They can laugh at most anything without worrying that they’ll be judged. Best of all, they can laugh at themselves.
